I found the ending to be quite good. It successfully brought all the elements of the show together and provided a satisfying explanation for the title. Additionally, it shed light on Martha's traumatic childhood and the reasons behind her choice of 'baby reindeer' as a term of endearment.
Donny finally confessing to his parents, going back to see his abuser, the support from Keeley and her mom Liz. The fact it ended with him getting a free coke and vodka and that's how it started with Martha.
This show utterly gutted me, but I'm glad I saw it.
This episode broke me to million pieces. What a great show. Thank you Richard.
It was unconfortable to watch, that's for sure. You slowly start to undestand why he does (or does not) do and how he approaches each situation; but at the same time I wasn't able to restrain myself of saying "what an idiot" with one decision or the other. And my gf felt the same way watching. Some instances were straight out idiotic that could have been spared if you put two working neurons on it. For me it was barely a 5 and I'm being generous
sick sick show i need brainwash after this
Why she was the way that the was. I’not sure I ever got close to finding the answer.
In fact, over time, I found myself relating to her all over again. Our shared insecurities, our fears for the future. The same things at night which kept us from our sleep. The way she managed to distract me from all the things that I’d lost.
She threatened me many times, said stuff that was violent or phobic. About me or Teri or the abuse. But still, I found myself ignoring it.
Holding off reporting her out of fascination or empathy or guilt. Any excuse to keep her in my life.
Perché era così come’era? Non credo di essermi mai avvicinato alla risposta.
In effetti col tempo mi ritrovai di nuovo a rispecchiarmi in lei. Le insicurezze condivise, le nostre paure per il futuro, gli stessi pensieri di notte che ci impedivano di dormire. Il modo in cui riusciva a distrarmi da tutte le cose che avevo perso.
Mi minacciò parecchie volte, diceva cose violente e paranoiche a proposito di me, Teri o dell’abuso. Eppure mi ritrovavo ad ignorarle.
Mi trattenevo dal denunciarla per attrazione, empatia o senso di colpa. Qualsiasi cosa pur di tenerla nella mia vita.

I broke down when his dad finally hugged him, shedding his own shame from the abuse in his past.
